Vol. 71/No. 8      February 26, 2007

Such efforts are needed everywhere to bring home the Militant’s five-week campaign to increase its long-term readership. With two weeks to go, the effort is 4 percent, or 18 subscriptions, behind schedule.

Many of the 282 people who have renewed, or subscribed for the first time for six months or longer, have taken advantage of special discounts on Pathfinder books and pamphlets.

“A young Eritrean worker decided to renew his subscription for six months and also bought copies of The First and Second Declarations of Havana” during a house meeting, wrote Ellen Berman from Philadelphia. “He said he thought it was important to build solidarity through supporting the paper.”

“At a house meeting in Chicago, a metal worker subscribed for six months and got Cuba and the Coming American Revolution,” reported Laura Anderson. “He subscribed to follow workers’ struggles around the world.”

As the examples above indicate, getting to know Militant readers in your area offers a chance to discuss revolutionary working-class politics. You can be part of making the Militant sub renewal drive a success by renewing your sub now and urging others to sign up too. For help in these efforts contact distributors listed on page 8.
